The Forerunners

"Forerunner is the translated name for the ancient race of enlightened beings that were the creators and builders of the Halo Array, the Ark, and the Shield Worlds, along with the artifacts that were found on the planets Reach, Earth, Sigma Octanus IV, Harvest, Arcadia, Sanghelios, Kholo, and Janjur Qom. All that is known about the Forerunner has been gleaned from these various artifacts." Halopedia


-------------------------

The Forerunners are a rather mysterious race don't you think? They might be our ancestors, our past or even us humans( in the game). I am creating this thread to know your opinion about them. Please, tell me your opinion and if you are able to do so, add some information! I would love to know more about The Forerunners

Also, if you are willing to answer this poll. It would be interesting to see how people see them.

Thank you for your time

They're humanaty's brother race, created by the Precursors for as of yet unknown reasons. 110,000 years ago, humanity's once grand interstellar Empire fell to the combination Flood and Forerunner assaults from both sides, blowing us back to the stone age.

Yes this is all confirmed.

We should know better, because we are better.

You should read Cryptum. It will tell everything and more.

Remember me?

They are the Ultimatum of the Halo Universe :).

EDIT: It's very hard/disappointing to believe that known of this is real. When I think about it, something wants to tell me it is.. maybe I'm crazy. Maybe I just have dedication.

SC = Supreme Commander/Supreme Canadian.

De Facto leader of the military of the APE (Allied Planets Empire).

Coup = Admiral Asskicker, ZPM hive ship

Both insanely advanced, far past the point of most SG races, hell they beat the Alterans for having more wacky tech...

And more xenophobic then the Imperium of Man.

Not a good combination.

From what I have gathered from Halo: Criptum, it looks like some forerunners put themselves in the human gene pool so the humans got the biological code to activate forerunner tech.

it is possible that they did this diliberatly so they could one day learn from their mistakes and take up the mantle.

I view them as a race who got smug. So they built the Halo rings, Ark, shield worlds, etc. to flaunt their power. Then they activate the rings to exterminate the flood, almost worked. And they incorporated humanity into the equation (i.e. Chief) and we had to either destroy their tech (Halo CE, Halo wars, etc.). Thus bringing us to the events of Halo 4.

Not so much xenophobic, they are more aloof and have a massive superioriy complex. They did not hate the alien, they just viewed themselves as above them.

That it is so unbelievably blatant that they are either direct ancestors or even the exact same genus. There isn't even a debate...

^ This.

Cryptum specifically states that the book takes place 100,000 years after the Human-Forerunner War, and the decimation that Humanity faced from both Forerunner as well as the Flood.

In the book, Humanity is back to being a Hunter-Gatherer/Tribal culture, with almost no technology beyond stone-age/bronze-age materials.

We have already lost. The Forerunners control the Orion arm along with the rest of the Galaxy.
